QPR boss close to deciding new captain

QPR manager Mark Hughes is close to naming a new captain.

Hughes has been considering a number of candidates to succeed Joey Barton, with the likes of Clint Hill, Anton Ferdinand and Ji-sung Park all wearing the armband so far during pre-season.

The R’s boss plans to make an announcement when his squad return from a visit to Germany, where they will play two matches.

Hughes said: “I keep moving it around and will continue to do that for the next two games.

“I’ve got a mind on who will eventually have it. A lot of the guys are making good claims for it and it’s good we’ve got leadership in the group.”

  • Faurlin or Ferdinand! They were our most consistent players last season, always put their all in, couldn't pick out a slip up by either of them and Faurlin already captained us against MK Dons when he got injured. We need a captain that is a good leader and who is going to retain the title for some years, Clint Hill & Shaun Derry would be good captains but they are 33 & 34 respectively so they would be retiring in the next couple of years. Would give Ale & Anton some responsibility to bring the best out of them (even more!) and give them some reassurance of their position at our club, COYR!!
